TRAI: The speculation that TRAI intends to impose charges on customers for holding multiple SIMs/ numbering resources is unequivocally false. Such claims are unfounded and serve only to mislead the public.

Was expecting telcos to promote moving to postpaid with no daily data cap by only hiking the prepaid plan costs and keeping postpaid plan prices same. If they only hiked the prepaid plans, many people would've moved to postpaid. As those would turn out to be cheaper or better value in many cases (especially with family plans). But they hiked postpaid price as well. Don't know what they are planning.

Postpaid plans will reach out to 999 for limited data on 4G+5G from Airtel really soon. They are in mood to shift to SA as they are not capable of handling so much data traffic. Expect 5999 from them as annual plan really soon(within two years or before next auction).
